We have done everything to hurt   The other in this war without a word   We have fought for things that hardly were   Worth thinking about, so why don't you prefer   To break the silence   And put the weapons down   We can talk it over - still      Somehow we seem to have dislearned   To communicate, and that's why we have turned   To a form of silent conversation   That led us straight into alienation      I almost can't believe   That this is us, still you and me   That we just don't speak no more   What happened to the ones   We have been before ?      Sometimes we just don't understand   That the stone we kick away   Is a precious diamond 'til it's gone      Sometimes we have to speak our mind   Just to get the proof   That there never is a simple truth      If you had let me be the one I am   If I had let you be the one you are   If we both had sometimes tried to understand   Certainly it would never have come that far      I almost can't believe   That this is us, still you and me   That we sit right here   With our lips sealed tight   Instead of speaking it out   To make everything turn out right      Sometimes we just don't understand   That the stone we kick away   Is a precious diamond 'til it's gone      Sometimes we have to speak our mind   Just to get the proof   That there never is a simple truth      Well, I know   For you it's perfectly clear   What is going on here   That's your simple truth   Don't you know   I've got my own point of view   That might be just as true   As your simple truth   So turn around and open up your mouth   And speak your mind      I almost can't believe   That this is us, still you and me   We could make it right   Or break it up instead   But anyway we should not forget   We never know what we'll find   But we know what we leave behind      Sometimes we just don't understand   That the stone we kick away   Is a precious diamond 'til it's gone      Sometimes we have to speak our mind   Just to get the proof   That there never is a simple truth
